Tang Yin himself doesn't like being with the two armies of Sichuan and Mozambique, which will make him feel bound and lose his dominant position. He is very comfortable with Yu Jun. in most things, lingshuang will focus on his opinions.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang, lingshuang expressed his dissatisfaction to Tang Yin and asked him why he agreed to Xiao Xuan so easily and continued to divide troops to the West. Xiao Xuan made it clear that Feng Yu and the central army of Zhenguo should meet each other.
Tang Yin smiled indifferently, say: "It's no big deal to meet the Zhenjun army. If we can fight it, we'll fight it. If we can't fight it, we'll rescue it. If there's no help, we'll retreat. There's always a way! If we can really hold the Zhenjun army and create convenience for the western advance of the Sichuan Mozambican armies, it's not a good thing. After all, the six nation coalition army is a whole. How many Zhenjun troops we kill this time is not the key. The key is whether we can attack it directly Xitang, destroy the imperial court of Zhen state in one fell swoop. "
Lingshuang thought about it and thought Tang Yin was right, but she said: "if we really meet the main force of Zhen army in the westward March, my suggestion is to ask for help directly without fighting. If the four armies of Chuan, Mo, an and Huan do not provide assistance, we will withdraw immediately."
Tang Yin didn't want to argue with lingshuang on this matter. He nodded and replied, "I respect sister Wang's opinion."
At the proposal of Xiao Xuan, the Fengyu allied army and the Chuanmo allied army, which had just converged in Juan city, soon divided into two routes and continued to advance westward.
The Sichuan Mozambique allied army advanced into Xinfeng County, while the Fengyu allied army directly rushed into Guping county.
Guping county can be called the Loess plain. It is dry and hot. There are extremely few rivers and water sources in the territory. When you look at it, everything you can see is flat, and you can't even see any green.
Due to poor conditions, although Guping county has a large area, it is sparsely populated, and there are only a few towns in the territory. It is not too much to describe it as a barren land.
The Fengyu allied forces often drive for a day or two in Guping County, but they can't even meet a village. Fortunately, the information of Tianyan and underground network is timely, and the water source provided by the whole army is relatively sufficient. Otherwise, if they march in Guping County, they will die of thirst.
During the journey, lingshuang was always worried. Guping county was so flat that it was difficult to find a hill. Once his own side met Zhenjun, he couldn't even find a place to retreat and defend.
Three days after the Fengyu allied forces entered Guping County, they finally saw the first city of the county, Donggu city.
According to the report of Tianyan and geonet, the population of Donggu city is less than 80000 and the garrison is less than 10000. Now when you are on the scene, both Feng and Yu armies are silly.
Donggu city is said to be a city. In fact, it is similar to a larger town. The outer wall is not made of stone, but made of loess. I'm afraid it's less than two feet high. It's estimated that people can push it down with a joint push.
Donggu has no urban defense, but the defenders inside are not vague at all, that is, they have not fallen or run. All Zhen troops with less than 10000 people are standing on the wall, with arrows on the strings and knives out of the scabbard.
After watching the situation of Donggu, Tang Yin and lingshuang are happy. It's enough to send an army to battle in such a weak small city.
Lingshuang offered to Tang Yin that the task of attacking Donggu city could be entrusted to Yu Jun.
Tang Yin didn't argue with her, so he nodded and agreed on the spot. Without Feng Jun fighting side by side with himself, lingshuang really didn't dare to be careless and sent five regiments to attack Donggu city from the front.
As far as the ability of individual combat is concerned, the jade army is far inferior to the Zhen army, but at this time, the difference in military strength between the two sides is too wide. The jade army of 50000 people charged forward together, swallowing the momentum of Donggu city in one breath.
Under the fierce attack of the jade army, the Zhenjun army suffered heavy casualties, and the urban defense of thousands of people soon collapsed. At the same time, the jade army's rush car also broke the gate of Donggu City, and a large number of jade army officers and soldiers were killed into the city.
I thought the battle was over. Unexpectedly, the jade army who entered the city soon retreated with a disheartened face.
When Tang Yin and lingshuang, who were watching the war, were puzzled, they heard the shouting in Donggu city. Countless people of Zhenguo with knives, guns and sticks came out of the city.
Among the people, there were men and women, old and young. Even women held high short knives or daggers and slashed and killed Sergeant Yu.
The jade army has never seen such a fierce people. Coupled with the large number of the other party, he was caught off guard and disoriented. In addition to being frightened, he ran away from Donggu city.
Seeing this, lingshuang's face can't be hung up. His side is the central army of a country. It's a great shame to be beaten by the crafty people in a small town.
She immediately ordered the senior general Shi Xiao to lead five regiments to go up and meet the soldiers in front. In any case, she had to take down Donggu city.
Shi Xiao was about to take orders and leave. Tang Yin stopped him and said to lingshuang, "sister Wang, it's a pity to kill all the people who are so fierce and have such a strong temperament!"
Tang Yin knows that the people of Donggu are no matter how fierce, but they are not a regular army after all. It's OK to be caught unprepared to fight the jade army, but if the jade army has to show its real skills, I'm afraid none of these people can live.
If Tang Yin hadn't arrested the people of Zhen state and sent them back to Feng state, lingshuang would think he was standing and talking without backache. Even so, she frowned and asked suspiciously, "what's the matter? Brother Wang has the idea of plundering people again?"
Tang Yin smiled, looked forward and said, "Zhenjun in the city is almost dead. Sister Wang ordered Yujun to withdraw. I'll solve the next thing."
Lingshuang gazed at him for a moment, and finally nodded to the generals around him, instructing them to call in the gold and withdraw the troops. Then she asked, "how is brother Wang going to subdue these villains?"
Tang Yin was happy and said, "I'm not good at how to appease Zhen people, but someone is much better than me!"
Lingshuang knew who he was talking about, that is, Jiang Hao, who helped Fengguo successfully subdue hundreds of thousands of people. She said, "I thought brother Wang had killed this man long ago."
Tang Yin looked at her strangely and said, "take off the millstone and kill the donkey. Now the millstone is still turning, how can you kill the donkey first?"
Lingshuang smiled noncommittally and was not talking.
It was Shi Yinzhen's army who sent all the people outside the city to persuade him to go back to the city first, and then sent all the people back to the city.
In his mind, the conditions of Guping county are so bad, which is very different from that of Fengguo. Jiang Hao's persuasion should be very smooth, but things are just the opposite. Jiang Hao entered the city under the protection of the wind army. He tried his best, but failed to convince anyone.
In fact, it is also easy to understand that the poorer and closed places are, the narrower people's horizons are. Compared with the Zhenren of Canglin County, the people of Guping county have never seen the prosperity outside and do not know the prosperity of the world. The people here have lived in their own one-third of an acre of land almost all their life and have little contact with the outside world. Now they are asked to leave their hometown and go to a distant and unknown wind country. People's fear is far greater than their longing.
Jiang Hao's words were exaggerated, but he could not arouse people's resonance at all. The means of prestige and inducement were also brought out, but people were not moved at all. Finally, there was no way. He had to quit the city and return to Tang Yin.
After hearing Jiang Hao's reply, Tang Yin's face immediately cooled down. First, he was angry that Jiang Hao was not doing well, and second, he was angry that the people here didn't know what to do.
In the past, he might have ordered the city to be slaughtered on the spot, but now he won't do that. If he slaughters the city today, all the people of Zhen country will hate the wind army to the bone tomorrow. It's impossible to persuade Zhen people to move to Feng country again.
He suppressed his anger, waved to Jiang Hao and said with a smile, "it's not Mr. Jiang Hao's fault that he failed to convince the people here. It's just that they are short-sighted and don't know what to do."
Seeing that the king didn't blame himself, Jiang Hao was relieved and hurried to salute and leave.
After he left, Tang Yin ordered the generals to enter the city immediately and put the whole city under martial law. If there were rebels, they should mainly disperse them. They should not be killed until they were absolutely forbidden.
The winds will take command and lead their armies into the city like a whirlwind.
The 200000 wind troops almost filled the small Donggu city in the blink of an eye. During the period when the wind troops entered the city, naturally, some Zhenren people fought desperately, but their resistance was insignificant in front of the 200000 army.
Soon, the swift and violent wind army controlled the whole city. All the streets and alleys in the city were under martial law. The city master of Donggu city was also captured by the people of hidden arrows at home. Later, Tang Yin, lingshuang and 200000 jade troops also entered the city.
All the 400000 Fengyu allied troops entered Donggu city. There are no streets in the city. Looking around, there are dense military accounts in the city except the earth houses where the people live.
Tang Yin and lingshuang went directly to the city Lord's mansion. In Donggu City, the city Lord's mansion is the most luxurious building, but even so, it is just a large courtyard with several large earth houses.
The interior of the city Lord's residence is good, at least all kinds of household furnishings are available. Tang Yin and lingshuang sat down in the lobby of the main room. After sitting down, they shook their clothes. The dust was flying, and the Yellow gravel fell around their bodies.
Tang Yin has long been used to the hardships of marching and fighting, but the spirit cream, who has been in the palace for many years, has endured to the limit.
She leaned over to Tang Yin and whispered, "brother Wang, I have to clean myself now. You have to deal with things here first!"
Since entering Guping County for three days, lingshuang hasn't taken a bath. Now she feels that her body is almost smelly and can't stand it for a second.
Tang Yin asked with a smile, "don't you see the Lord of Donggu city?"
"What's good? One nose and two eyes?" Lingshuang gave him a white look and got up to go.
At this time, Lotte hurried in from the outside, first saluted Tang Yin and lingshuang, and then said to the former: "king, there is an emergency military situation!"
